Just a little update. On 7/14--the 13th anniversary of our mom's death, I got one of THE most hurtful emails my sister has ever sent. I was pissed at myself that I read it at all, but I promised myself I would not respond to it, and I did not. I am glad I read it because eventually I would have felt guilty that I was not reaching out.
Like The Exorcist, my sister mixes lies with the truth in just the most hurtful ways. Each day that has passed I feel better and better about my decision to cut contact. She is not healthy in my life. It is no wonder my siblings do not keep in touch with her.
I've journaled about it a lot and am EXTREMELY proud of myself for not responding. Thanks for everyone's support. My other siblings have been wonderful lately.
